Make the 26th March 'NHS Day' in the United Kingdom.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

After #clapforourcarers at 8pm on 26th March 2020, to thank our NHS and other Key Workers for the absolutely outstanding effort in fighting to get rid of Covid-19, March 26th should be made a national day, namely 'NHS Day'.

The NHS don't get enough recognition, and this would go someway towards getting the recognition they deserve.
